There’s a lot more to a cutting board than meets the eye. At first glance, it’s a slab of wood. But to us — and anyone who appreciates craftsmanship — it’s the heart of the kitchen, a daily companion that deserves to be understood, respected, and cared for.
Welcome to “I’m Board.” This is where we geek out about wood — the beautiful, living material behind every board we craft.
Here, we’ll dig into:
-
🌳 The science of wood — how grain, density, and moisture affect durability and knife feel.
-
🪵 Lumber selection — why Maple, Cherry, and Walnut reign supreme (and how each behaves over time).
-
🔪 Crafting and finishing — from seasoning and sanding to the final wax rub-down.
-
💧 Care and cleaning — how to keep your board healthy, hydrated, and ready for years of service.
-
❤️ Sustainability and sourcing — because every board starts with a tree worth honoring.
Our goal is simple: to help you understand what goes into a truly great board — and how to keep yours looking and performing like new. Whether you’re a chef, a home cook, or a design lover, you’ll find tips, stories, and a few surprises along the way.
So pull up a stool, grab your favorite board, and let’s get into it.
After all… if you’re reading this, chances are, you’re a little “board,” too.
